SU-RN PCh standard mine control station with frequency converter

SU-RN PCh standard mine control station with frequency converter

Provide protections and interlocks for 3-phase AC driving motors, subject to frequent acceleration, deceleration, or inversion of rotation direction, in particular, like:

  • belt or drag link conveyor drives,

  • pump drives,

  • fan drives,

  • electric vehicle drives, etc.

The stations are designed to work at 660V to 1140V, including at underground mines and shafts with gas and/or combustible dust hazard. A station can be either non-Ex (standard) or Ex version.

Station protections:

  • Overcurrent and short-circuit current protection for every branch line (setting according to the motor rated current)

  • Engine feeding interlock in case of branch line insulation drop below the threshold value (30kΩ or 100kΩ)

  • Drive motor overheating protection

  • Ground circuit fault or resistance rise protection (if the station and motor are installed at a moving unit)

 

Characteristic features:

The main special feature of the station is the frequency converter air cooling within the entire available power range, while water cooling is most commonly used at explosion-proof frequency converters nowadays which is much costlier and invokes certain operating issues (the need to service pumps, to clean filters and water pipelines, to monitor and control cooling circuit pressure; leakage risk) that are not applicable to air cooling. The air cooling system is maintenance-free within the entire service life.

Scope of application and main advantages:

  • Belt conveyor drives

  • Drug link conveyor drives
